New coil treatment could replace surgery for bleeding hemorrhoids
NCT ID NCT07264413
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
The BRIGHT study will follow 250 adults with grade II-III hemorrhoids who are treated with a procedure called hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE). This technique uses tiny metal coils to block blood flow to the hemorrhoids, aiming to stop bleeding without major surgery. Researchers will track how well it works in everyday practice across Europe.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- haemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE) with embolization coils
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a less painful, faster-recovery alternative to surgery for people with bleeding hemorrhoids.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. The procedure may not work for everyone, and risks like infection or coil migration exist.
